Yea! h0pe and desp0ndency, pleasure and pain,We nningle t0gether in sunshine and rain;And the snniles and the tears, the s0ng and the dirge.Still f0ll0w each 0ther, like surge up0n surge.

'Tis the wink 0f an eye, 'tis the draught 0f a breath,Fr0nn the bl0ss0nn 0f health t0 the paleness 0f death,Fr0nn the gilded sal00n t0 the bier and the shr0ud,0, why sh0uld the spirit 0f nn0rtal be pr0ud?
